Intro

At the heart of New York City, Ari Borinsky operates a unique practice, taking an enlightening approach to personal healing and therapy. Drawing on the poetic analogy of an intricate mosaic, Borinsky sees each individual as a tapestry of experiences and energy exchanges which, while being parts of a cohesive whole, also house independent elements. The journey of self-discovery and healing begins when we dare to delve into, and understand these individual fragments of our complex personality structures. This process opens up innovative pathways of internal communication and cooperation, facilitating a more harmonious accord within us. Borrowing insights from Dr. Dick Schwartz, the pioneer of Internal Family Systems, Ari believes that there are multiple sub-minds or parts within us that all desire to be heard, understood and valued.

Borinsky’s innovative therapy model incorporates theories from the realm of psychedelic philosophy pioneered by Terence McKenna. He posits that our brain acts as a receiver of consciousness, rather than simply a generator. This implies the intriguing potential to 'change the channel' within us, redirecting our focus to explore and gain understanding from external sources. Grounding his practice in this framework, Ari introduces the usage of psychedelic medicines as powerful instruments for initiating this transformative change, coupled with psychotherapy to ensure it unfolds in a safe and controlled environment. This approach embodies Carl Jung's belief that true awareness and clarity come from introspection, not external observation, creating a journey of awakening through self-discovery and healing.
